Description: This is an original photograph from the scrapbook of Apprentice Seaman Orval Orchard Bartlow who served aboard the storied USS Texas from 1928 to 1932. The scrapbook of his adventures was filled with over 100 images of his time aboard and port visits. These are all rare, first generation images. Many are likely one of a kind. Type & Size: A 4x3 original photograph.Condition: Good vintage condition. Please see photos. This photograph captures a scene from 1931 showcasing two native huts, likely in a tropical or subtropical area, surrounded by vegetation. A figure can be seen moving through the landscape, which is inhabited with what appears to be farmland or crops near the dwellings. The huts are constructed from natural materials, indicative of local building practices, and the image conveys a sense of daily life in that environment.The USS Texas was a warship that served in the U.S. Navy during the early to mid-20th century, and during Orval Orchard Bartlow's time aboard, significant events occurred, including visits to various ports around the world. The late 1920s to early 1930s were periods of exploration and military presence in various territories, where sailors might have interacted with local cultures. An image like this may reflect such encounters and the lifestyle of indigenous peoples that were observed during these travels by servicemen.
